destination stewardship at ROYAL CARIBBEAN

Royal Caribbean has invested $3.3 million in Haiti since 2000, from earthquake relief to building a state-of-the-art school in Labadie. Since 2007, Royal Caribbean has donated nearly $1.9 million to PADF to fund disaster management, community strengthening and sustainable livelihoods in 24 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, part of a program of destination stewardship that assists those communities where Royal Caribbean ships visit.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

The most effective way people can assist relief efforts is by making cash contributions. Your donation will go toward our hurricane relief efforts in the Caribbean. We partner with local, grassroots organizations to ensure your gift goes where it is needed the most. Please consider an urgent monetary contribution. Priority needs are for emergency supplies such as potable water, hygiene kits and shelter materials.

PADF has an extensive network throughout the Caribbean that includes grassroots groups and community-based organizations in the affected areas. As the humanitarian arm of the Organization of American States (OAS), PADF responds to the region's major natural disasters and humanitarian crises.
